Haunted Mansion in Crime City

I bought the Haunted Mansion in Crime City! The damn thing is still there even after the sale is supposedly over. Sure, it’s costs 100 gold, which is like $10 or something in actual money, but the upgrade costs are free (for the time being) and it can make up to $40k per hour! It will take over 2 weeks to complete all the upgrades to level 10, but if I actually get the damn thing to finish that will be tremendous amounts of cash. And what the hell, it’s a Haunted Mansion! I managed to get the rest of the gold and make it to 100 by using TapJoy and installing a couple of apps along the way. I doubt I’ll ever have that much gold again, but there is always the next sale. I now have two of them and the upgrades are free. I have one at level 3 and the other is level 2. By tomorrow […]

Rush at Time Warner Arena

It was a brisk night in downtown Charlotte, but it’s gotta be better than Ohio and New York and that pesky hurricane. The show, to put it simply, was amazing. Their playing has lost nothing over the years. They still have all the power and technique, perhaps more so than most bands who are just getting started these days. The Steampunk theme looked beautiful and there was even the addition of the "Clockwork Angels String Ensemble" who played on multiple songs during the second half of the show. Just like before, I was filled with emotion and memory. As Force Ten played the original art worked played in the background, I remembered watching the Show of Hands concert footage on VHS during my college days. I remember asking Donna, who is now my wife, what Joie de Vivre meant as it pertained to the lyrics. She was 17 at the time. We lived in Colorado. Our getting together would come […]

Onward Clockwork Angels

  Despite the wind and rain, Rush will be in town tonight for their Clockwork Angels Tour. It was June of 2011 when we jumped into the Time Machine and went on a tour of Moving Pictures. This time we’re off on a Steampunk adventure across a wild landscape with an ever present Watchmaker who works to control everything. I wish I would have read the accompanying book before going into this tour. I have fond memories of last year show. Both of them. We went to both the Greenville and Greensboro shows. I remember that cozy coffee shop went to before the show. I remember that glimpse of Neil’s motorcycle parked outside the arena. I remember the amazing guitar playing, the funny antics, the stunning drum kit. And let’s not forget that that strange spill right behind us. I have no doubt this will be an amazing show. Too bad it’s not actually Halloween night! It still astounds me […]

Hurricane Coming!!!

There is an ill wind rising to the East. Our customers are abandoning their data centers and heading for safer ground. It’s all fun and games until you have to build a raft out of data cables. And there is only so long you can survive on diet soda and stale candy bars. Going to be a long night. I wonder what manner of chaos we will walk into tomorrow.
